Little Mix

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jesy, Jade, Jesy & Jade]
All damn night, I was here waiting (Waiting)
Cooked your favourite, dressed up real nice
I know you were with her, I know that you kissed her
You came home late, man, I was so mad (So mad)
Had my breakup speech ready
Then you kiss my face, it's the way you persuade me

[Pre-Chorus: Jade, Jesy & Leigh-Anne]
You're dirty, disgusting
But I can't get 'nough of your loving
Boy, I hate you, really hate you
My momma said I shouldn't date you
You're cheatin', you're lyin'
I know that you're hidin' two cellphones (Cellphones)
But, boy, right before I say that it's the end

[Chorus: Jade, All]
You sweet talk me again, yo
I don't wanna be friends, no
Why am I such a fool when it comes to you?
A, B, C, D, E-E-eee, F.U

[Verse 2: Leigh-Anne, Jesy & Jade]
All my friends say I'm a sucker (Sucker)
Can't explain, it's complicated
I wish you were dead till you take me to bed
You're so good, so good, you little mother (Mother; Mmm)
Oh, them brown eyes and that body
I'll get my revenge, take my keys to your Benz
[Pre-Chorus: Perrie, Jesy & Leigh-Anne]
You're dirty, disgusting
But I can't get 'nough of your loving
Boy, I hate you, really hate you
My momma said I shouldn't date you
You're cheatin', you're lyin'
I know that you're hidin' two cellphones (Cellphones)
But, boy, right before I say that it's the end

[Chorus: Perrie, All]
You sweet talk me again, yo
I don't wanna be friends, no
Why am I such a fool when it comes to you?
A, B, C, D, E-E-eee, F.U

[Bridge: Jesy, Jesy & Jade, Leigh-Anne & Perrie]
I wanna say, "Shoo, shoo" (Ooh)
I wanna say, "Screw you"
I practice my (Ooh) lines in the mirror
Then you smile, that's my killer (Ooh, oh)
So I say, "Love you"
And, "Baby, I need you"
'Cause you're drop dead (Oh-oh) gorgeous (Oh)
And Cupid ain't coming to warn us

[Pre-Chorus: Jesy, Jesy & Jade, Jade, Perrie, *All*]
You're dirty, disgusting
But I can't get 'nough of your loving
Boy, I hate you, really hate you (Ooh, ooh)
My momma said I shouldn't date you (Ooh, ooh)
You're cheatin', you're lyin'
I know that you're hidin' two cellphones
*But boy, right before I say that it's the end*
[Chorus: Leigh-Anne, Jade & Perrie Jade, Jesy]
You sweet talk me again, yo
I don't wanna be friends, no (No, I don't wanna be your friend)
Why am I such a fool when it comes to you?
A, B, C, D, E-E-eee, F.U

If you're searching for a fierce, no-nonsense song that calls out the ugly truth behind a toxic relationship, then look no further than Little Mix's “F.U.” A track that's anything but subtle, it's a powerhouse of unbridled emotions and biting lyrics, showcasing the girl group's impressive vocal range and confident performance style. Written by the girls themselves, “F.U.” is an anthem for anyone who's been wronged by a cheating ex and who's ready to say 'enough is enough'.

About F.U.

“F.U.” marks a brave departure from the bubbly, high-energy pop songs that Little Mix had become known for in the past. Instead, it's an intense ballad that packs a sonic punch with its powerful harmonies and driving beat. Released in 2016, it was intended as a single on Little Mix's record-breaking album, Glory Days. While it never saw the light of day as a single, “F.U.” remains a fan favorite that's earned critical acclaim for its raw, authentic portrayal of a tumultuous relationship.

The song begins with a haunting piano intro that sets the stage for the emotional turmoil that's to follow. It's not long before the vocals kick in, with Leigh-Anne, Perrie, Jesy, and Jade taking turns delivering lyrics that are filled with anger, disappointment, and resilience. The chorus is particularly memorable, with the girls belting out the hook in perfect unison and infusing each word with palpable emotion.

Lyrically, “F.U.” leaves nothing to the imagination. It's a blistering indictment of a partner who's betrayed the singer's trust, with the girls singling out every lie, every deceitful act, and every disappointment that they've experienced. From the opening lines ("Boy, you blew it / I'm not forgiving") to the final chorus ("'Cause we both know all the truth I could tell / I'll just say this is I wish you farewell"), it's a song that's unapologetically honest and direct.

Of course, Little Mix isn't just calling out their exes - they're also pointing the finger at themselves. Throughout the song, there's a sense that the girls know they're better off without their cheating partners, but they're struggling to let go. Whether it's because of loneliness or because of a lingering attachment to their partner's charm, they acknowledge that letting go isn't easy ("But every time I think about him, I get sick / And I realize he ain't changing, he's still a prick"). It's a relatable sentiment that adds an extra layer of depth to the song.

One thing that sets “F.U.” apart from other breakup tracks is the sheer power and intensity of the vocals. Little Mix has always been known for their impressive harmonies and vocal range, but in this song, they take it to another level. From the soaring notes in the chorus to the gut-wrenching ad-libs towards the end of the song, the girls deliver a performance that's nothing short of breathtaking. It's a testament to their talent and their ability to convey complex emotions through music.

Despite never being released as a single, “F.U.” has still managed to find a fervent fanbase. It's a track that resonates with anyone who's ever been through a tough breakup and who's struggled to move on from a toxic relationship. It's a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there's still power in standing up for yourself and refusing to settle for less than what you deserve. With “F.U.”, Little Mix has delivered a song that's not only catchy and memorable, but also empowering and relatable.

So if you're looking for a song that'll help you tap into your inner strength and give you the courage to say “enough is enough”, look no further than Little Mix's “F.U.”. With its powerful vocals, intense lyrics, and catchy melody, it's the ultimate breakup anthem that's sure to inspire and uplift.
